Re: F1 boring?
I get so bored watching Usain Bolt leading from start to finish. They really should spice it up for us tv viewers and insist that runners have to use about four types of compulsory shoes, each of which can only last about 25 metres. Depending of course on the runners' differing builds, weights and ...

Re: Alonso and his home crowd
To give someone insight into how these things are perceived in Spain, the top comment on a Spanish sports website in the article about Alonso's win is; Ver en cataluña el Gp de ESPAÑA coronado por un madridista no tiene precio.

Re: Fred reported to police..
I imagine "assault" is exaggeration. He may have pushed the camera away, which then fell out of the guy's hand and smashed on the ground. Doesn't even sound like Alonso being a dick, just trying to avoid the pap. Most "celebrities" do it. That said, buying the bloke a camera wouldn't do his PR or w...

Hmmm, depends. I think London it is more expensive, especially the black cabs. But I wouldn't know much, I once asked a driver in another country what do they base the charges on and he said it is a mix of distance, consumption and time. I thought it was bull, but then again who knows?

Both good, the Wizzard was ok-ish, probably for a younger audience than myself.
Guilt trip is a feel-good movie, which I enjoyed a lot. Surely gives you a good feeling at the end

Can let teams down. 5) Results after...

If you mean by 'it all' you mean the kind of speed he had pre 2006 then no, he didn't. Nowhere near it sadly. The Schumacher of 2006 and back would have had Rosberg for breakfast.
